Elastic fingering of a bonded soft disc in traction: interplay of geometrical and physical nonlinearities

This work provides a mathematical understanding of the elastic fingering provoked by a large axial extension of a soft solid cylinder bonded between rigid plates. In this prototypical system model, a topological transition from a ground axis-symmetric meniscus is quasi-statically controlled by the a...
